Cook and stir the meat in a large skillet until brown.
Drain off the excess fat. Stir in half of the tomato
sauce and the oregano leaves into the meat mixture.
Heat to boiling then reduce the heat and simmer,
uncovered, for 10 minutes. While the meat mixture is
simmering, mix the baking mix, egg and the milk.

over the batter, spreading evenly. Layer 4 slices of
the cheese, the meat mixture, the mushrooms and the
remaining cheese on top of the batter and tomato
sauce. Spoon the reserved batter on the top of the
cheese. Sprinkle the batter top with the grated
Parmesan cheese and bake, uncovered, until it is
golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes
before cutting into squares and serving.
